another one of my fantastic dumbass threads lol (im learning remember )

Right basicly i have a Ford Fiesta si 1.6 to get to work etc but the tracking has been out for along time so nakerd the tyres.

Due to me treating the TSW's that were on it like shit as i wasnt botherd about cars for the first year of me driving i decided to get new wheels and tyres insted of sticking new tyres on crap rims.

So i came across these. lovly set of rims and they suit the car perfectly: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=320191414195

Now my problem is that they have slightly bigger tyres on than my tsw's so that with the 30mm drop of the car the catch the arch when i hit a pot hole or slight bump, it isnt major but its enough.

My tsw's were 195/45/15 and these are 195/50/15

how can i mod the arch to suit the thicker tyres? id perfer to do this than loose the drop of the car.

 

im lowered 40 mm on a fiesta si,

if you say its mucnhed the front tyres, its time for new front wishbones, as mine has just done the same thing,

i have rolled arches all round, and they still catch on 195/45/15 tyres wih people in the car,

youll have to see where the marks on the arches are then cut/trim/roll the metal in these areas mate

 

its not realy munchd them, very little damage to them so far but the only drive ive done is taking my g.f home which is like a 30min round trip.

just want to sort it out before it does munch my tyres.

matty

 

is it only wearing ont he inside edge???

ifso, its deffo front wishbones have worn,

ive been recomended to change em every 5000 miles as a service item

 

no the outside edge.

i might get polly bush's for what i have as they wont wear as fast and are a bit stiffer.

if that fails ill try and get heavier weight oil in my shocks to they dont compress as easy
